Pumpkin Pie Bites

Who loves pumpkin pie? It’s something I look forward to baking every fall. Nothing beats a slice of homemade pie! I thought it would be fun to make miniature versions of classic pumpkin pie, and I’m really happy with how they turned out.

These bite-size Mini Pumpkin Pies would be perfect for parties or special occasions, because you can make so many of them, and they look really impressive. They look like you spent all day making them, but in reality, they only take about 15 minutes to assemble.

With these pumpkin pie bites, you get all the same flavors of a homemade pumpkin pie, with less prep time, less bake time, and a higher crust-to-filling-ratio. 😉 I don’t know about you, but I’m convinced that the crust is sometimes the best part of a pie, and with these mini pumpkin pies, you get flaky crust in every single bite!

Just be careful, because before you know it, you’ll have eaten three (or four, or five) of these delicious little pumpkin pie treats. I know from experience!

How to make Mini Pumpkin Pies in a muffin tin:

As far as “special equipment” goes, you’ll need two mini muffin tins and a 3-inch cookie cutter (it can be round or scalloped). I’m sure you could get away with using a drinking glass too if you don’t have the right size cookie cutter on hand.

Start by preheating the oven and spraying the two mini muffin tins with cooking spray. Make sure to spray your pan well so that the pies pop right out.

Roll out pie dough and us a 3″ circle or flower shape cookie cutter to cut out 24 pieces. Press cut outs into the wells of the muffin tins and place in the fridge to chill.

Remove the tins from the refrigerator and fill each crust with 1.5 tablespoons of filling (you can use a #40 cookie scoop to do this). TIP: Tap the tins on the counter to create a smooth, even filling.

Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until the crust begins to turn golden brown. Let the pies cool in the tins for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

When they’ve cooled enough you can top them with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, or eat them plain! It’s totally up to you. You can serve them at room temperature, or refrigerate them and serve them chilled.

Can these mini pumpkin pies be made ahead of time? Yes, indeed – just be sure to store them in the fridge for 24-48 hours in advance. Add whipped cream closer to when serving.

How many does this recipe make? These make about 24 mini pies, but you can count on each person having about 2 of them if you’re making them for holiday meals.

Again – we love pumpkin pie but especially love that these cute little pies can be made in 15 minutes. They’re the perfect last-minute treat to make for any fall gathering.

I had such a fun time making these Mini Pumpkin Pies with my kiddos, I’m positive we’ll be making them again & again!

Instructions

Roll out pie dough on a baking mat or lightly floured surface. Using a 3" circle or flower shape cookie cutter, cut out 24 pieces. Gently press into the wells of the prepared muffin tins. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

Remove the tins from the refrigerator and fill each crust with 1.5 tablespoons of filling (you can use a #40 cookie scoop to do this). Tap the tins on the counter to create a smooth, even filling.

Place in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the crust begins to turn golden brown in color. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tins for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Serve room temperature or chilled.

Oh, I’m sure we will as everyone in the family loves pumpkin pie; especially when they have pumpkin pie to go with their Cool Whip. :} Will be making between 4-6 doz. of these little babies. (some will be shared with neighbors)

That’s a good question. I know the puree has no spices, but I don’t know how much of the spices are in the filling. Maybe add the pie filling, omitting the spices, see how it tastes, then you may need to add a little of the spices listed? I hope that helps! Let me know how it turns out 🙂

These look great! I’m abroad and in a pinch for thanksgiving tomorrow (no pie dish here sadly and the country I live in doesn’t bake pies so the tins aren’t available anywhere) and i’m having to get creative. Any chance that these would work in a normal muffin tin? If so, what adjustments would you recommend? thanks so much in advance have a fab thanksgiving tomorrow!!

I have not tried in a regular muffin tin, but you can maybe double the ingredients, so you can fill it more & make as many or the recipe may make like 12 regular ones, if you didn’t double it. Hopefully, that helps. I wish I knew for sure. Good luck!! Happy Thanksgiving!
